A daughter of Russian Jewish immigrants who arrived in the United States in 1891, she received her schooling in Cleveland, graduting from Central High School ca. 1915.

She returned to Cleveland in the 1920s, opening her first studio in 1929 in rented space in the Masonic Hall at 1949 East 105th Street. She remained in this studio which was close to the heavily Jewish population area of Glenville until the population shifts to the suburbs in the late 1940s and early 1950s. By 1952, Shapero had relocated to Cleveland Heights, where much of Cleveland's Jewish population had resettled. She maintained a studio in the Masonic Temple at 1633 Lee Road and continued teaching dance and the social graces which accompany it until her death almost twenty years later in 1970.
